The Forresters Fate
Even though this pains me to say..
The Forresters were doomed from the beginning.. ever since Gregor fell at The Twins along with most of their army, the fate of the family was sealed in stone.
Even when Ethan took up the role as Lord, he was far too young to lead the house, let alone wield the Forrester Greatsword.. that would take him years to be able to hold it, even Gared couldn't handle it.
And then when Ethan died, 3/4 of the remaining men deserted their post as Ryon (at the time the last surviving lord) was held captive until Rodrik returned.. While it was a joy to behold, the house was still worried as if Rodrik falls then that'd be it until Asher was sent to bring home an army and ride by Rodrik's side.
Then Gryff arrived.. men were filled in Ironrath and Gryff took to running the house, leaving the Forresters with just their lives intact.
After the deal with Danny was called off, the gold would only hire pit fighters who knew hardly anything about houses and all that.
Arthur died which almost supposedly destroyed the alliance between House Forrester & House Glenmore regardless of the bethroal to Elaena.
Of course then.. The traitor showed his true colours, telling them of Asher's return, the numbers the house had, the strength of the gate.
Then came the tragic choice between two brothers, one fell and one survived.. even with everything they went through the Forresters lost everything even with managing to kill Ludd/Gryff & Harys.
The ironwood, the matriach (Elissa), Ironrath, the Sentinel (player-determined), Mira (player-determined), the pit fighters and the rest of the Forrester army.
We never did learn the power of the North Grove.. and all we got is the undead army, Elsera with her blood magic and Josera being a warg.
Even with several of the family surviving, I can't seem to think how they will overcome this in the next season.
With a bit of hope, I know for a fact, EVERYONE will pay for the Forrester's downfall and they will rise again from the ground.

I agree with you, but we must have hope. While we may not fully know and understand the power of the North Grove, we must have hope that Gregor's bastard twins and their army of blood-controlled warriors can save the day. We must have hope that Rodrik/Asher, Talia, and Duncan/Royland/Gwyn can rise up and fight for the memory of House Forrester, and finally, we must have hope that all remaining Whitehills will burn by the end of Season 2. Now, let us all rise up, and yell at the top of our lungs, Iron From Ice!
There'll be a choice between Josera & Elsera, calling it already.
Elsera is losing her power and seems weak/tired.
I'm surprised not many other people have replied.

A choice between the two would be pretty hard for me, since I've taken a liking to both of them. If we were given the choice, I would probably choose Elsera since she controls the warriors and they could be the key to House Forrester's survival. Iron From Ice.
I would choose Josera because Shadow is cool :P
We haven't lost yet. We still have people who can fight for the Forresters. The Whitehills will fall one way or another.
